Home For the Holidays

Home for the Holidays The sights, the sounds The smell of fresh-baked bread Mom's smile greets me Fido's greeting bowls me over Home for the Holidays The house scrubbed to a sparkle The bushes all lit up, trim and fit Dad's firm handshake reassures me He and Mom are handling the place fine Home for the Holidays Some cookies to munch on Hot apple cider to keep me warm Curled up by the fireplace Fast asleep in its glow

Gershon, It sounds wonderful. Can I come? I can smell the cookies from Ct. Such wonderful images.. It's almost like my house at Christmas except for your 1 line: "The house scrubbed to a sparkle" Tee hee :-)

A snuggly, comfortable, heart-warming time with the family. A cozy poem for the holidays. I enjoyed the read, Gershon. Bill

Fido is a good bowler, it seems. ~ Spares and Strikes (OK and Gutter Balls too). :)

Thanks, Evelyn. Having viewed them from 'afar,' so to speak, perhaps they are all the dearer to me. Season's best, Gershon

Ah, it sounds so fine, gw. Give me your address and I'll join you folks. Can I have just a drip of vodka in that cider? Just enough to give it a little kick????

My address? Why, I'm a rolling stone. Wherever I hang my hat is my home. (Recognize that one from the Temptations, about 1973?). :)
